Cannon Saturday 12/6

December 6: Ski for Hunger Food Drive
Food collected benefits the Good Neighbor Food Pantry in Franconia, NH. Bring 4 non-perishable food items to Guest Services in the Notchview Lodge and receive 50% off your full-day ticket that day!

Was starting to scope out locations/prices to ski on Saturday. Cannon looks like a good bet to me

Interesting! May do this.
Okemo has their food drive Sunday 12/7. Bring a toy, an article of clothing, or (5) non-perishable food items and ski for $39.00.
I would do this but the ski widow uncharacteristically made plans on a Sunday during ski season..............................

still showing 13/14

Yeah, I was told it was supposed to be updated last week. Didnt happen. Which is par for the course with that program. Nice people, but their organizational skills are horrendous. When I make my GPS map of the gas stations each year, there hasnt been a year when I havent found multiple mistakes (wrong addresses, old stations that no longer participate, new stations participating that were omitted, etc...).

Irving oil has posted this year's ski promotion:
https://www.theirving.com/ski

Is it safe to assume that the BOGO offer is off of full retail, and not a Liftopia ticket?

The only mountain that I will likely use it at is Owl's Head. With season passes, even a BOGO is a hard pill to swallow when skiing at my home hill is already paid for. Owl's Head has some good regular rates and is not too far from where I live, so it's appealing in my situation.

Definitely.

I noticed last week that Irving has made a foray into n.VT, so I might throw this into the mix depending on the individual ticket restrictions (which that link doesn't show) for Jay Peak. If someone here grabs the paperwork at a local Irving, please post the details.

Don't only certain Irving Gas Stations participate in this? That's what I seem to recall from prior years. I wonder if they'd be willing to accept copies of receipts. I have to turn in the original to get reimbursed for work and it's pretty common for me to fill up my 13 gallon tank 3 times per week. I suppose I could have the station print me an extra copy if need be.

I got my first qualifying "fill-up" today - 10 gallons, which gets me about a half tank. FYI, for anyone who isn't familiar with this, you need to go into the store and get the vouchers from an employee.

Do you know if there are any restrictions on the BOGO? Weekends available? Thanks.

Last year, most of the places offered deals m-f. Some did sun-fri. None of the areas offered the deal on Saturdays.

ISkiNY discount tickets are now on sale. Maybe not the best savings but good anytime so some might be interested for holidays. Gore and Whiteface currently sold out. (I got mine yesterday. :grin: )

https://www.iskiny.com/ski-deals/ticket-sales

Does ISKINY still do the one $12 day? I think it was one Thursday last year, any ski area in NY on one specific date. I skied Gore on it last year.
